answer: the most common cause of loose stools at this age is rotavirus. if the motions are mucus like sticky and not watery, it can as well the cough/expectoration passing in stool. if the motions are settled now, nothing to worry. the danger in loose motions is of dehydration. reat about dehydration and its management at www.rehydrate.org

My baby girl does not like to drink milk from either the bottle or my breast. She is 6 months and I am trying solid. I tried different kinds of milk, but she does not like. She only drink water from the bottle. I am disappointed and took me a lot of time trying to feed her the milk. She suck her thumb most of the time. I can not organize her feeding because it took me long time to feed her the milk bottle for about an hour. Even after four hours she still refuse the bottle?

answer:

6 month baby if passing urine 6-8 times a day may mean that she is having enough liquid intak for her needs. the reasons why a normal 6 month old baby will refusebottle is the force required to suck through the bottle and baby tries to be a bit lazy.any way, bottle feeding isnt cimpulsory, switch over to spoon feeding with a smaller spoon, that will be healthier. its also time to start with complementary feeding.
